Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Westerholt 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government issued new coins with lower denominations, such as the 10 Pfennigs, to help people purchase everyday items without having to use large, inflated banknotes.
